The Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS) Program staff now begins the next phase of the work to select 1,000 extraordinary young people, each who will receive a good-through-graduation scholarship to use at any U.S. based, accredited college or university of their choice.

Applicants will be notified in mid-March 2015 to log back into the system and check the status of their application.If an applicant is selected as a finalist, s/he will need to submit several documents to verify eligibility, including but not limited to: an official high school transcript, the FAFSA's Student Aid Report, and an acceptance letter to any college or university to which a student is admitted.

In mid-April 2015, all finalists will receive written correspondence about the final outcome of their application. The 2016 GMS Online Application will open in August 2015.
